Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It gives off an alluring scent that attracts other dragons.

And look! Chocolate-brown fins have grown on its back and tail, and the scent is much stronger now.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

Urigav Heartwander is sometimes considered to be one of the Year's Children, but he is adamant about not being associated with them. He shares some of their powers, yes, but he refuses to steal away hatchlings, even indirectly. Instead, he and his companion Yiri Heartmender travel Valkemare trying to mend the families Marissia helped destroy. The love he specializes in is familial love, and the dragons he brings together are parents and their lost hatchlings. He can't always win against Marissia but views every reunited family as a triumph.
